OMFG MY HAND IS DEAD! D|

Okay.
So.
This whole picture was done with like, 8 billion dots. D|

Another Illustration Styles and Techniques assignment, I started it in class on Friday around, oh 2:30-ish. 'Cause we had another assignment thinger before it. >>;
Where we had to do a scale of sorts.

We only had three markers to use. Magenta, True Blue (they ran out so Copenhagen Blue is what I used) and Canary Yellow to try and mimic the printers CMYK set up and the like.

We had to mix all the colors together.
There was Yellow, Magenta, Blue, then Yellow + Magenta = Orangey-Red, Yellow + Blue = Green, Blue + Magenta = Violet and then all three = Awkward Black/Gray/Green color XDDD

So, all the colors in this picture were all made with only those three colors.
AND ALL DOTS.
So much LAYERING.

But yeah, started at 2:30, went non-stop until about 6PM and then we went home, and then I worked on it more from about 7 or 8PM til 5AM where I started hallucinating, it was REALLY awkward. You can ask ~XekeX XDDD;;; >>;;; I didn't get a lot of sleep the night before 'cause I went and saw the midnight showing of Prince Caspian and then I forgot that I had class the next day XDDD;;; And stay up until like 5-ishAM doodling shit until I was like "Oh... shit." XD;;; Got about 4-5 hours of sleep.
It was so awkward tho. I kept thinking I saw things move out the corner of my eye.

ANYWAY.
Yeah.
WEnt to bed.
Woke up at like 2PM.
Started working on it at 3PM. Aaaaaand I just finished a little bit ago at like 9:52 |D
LOTSA HOURS PUT INTO THIS STUPID THING!
Stupid parrot D<

And my hand is dead. D|

BUT YEAH. D:
